Every season come inquiries as to the
most accurate mode of measuring hay
IN bulk, and every season come also, from
correspondents in different sections of
the country, rules for measurement, vary
ing in one or more particulars Now,
the long and short of the matter Is just
this: So many things have to be taken
into consideration in calculating the
weight of hay in bulk it makes it difficult
to ascertain it precisely. For instance,
fine new-mown hay, like red top or herds
grass would probably not require quite
500 cubic feet for the ton timothy alone
requires about 550 clover, $50; coarse
meadow hay, 700 or more After being
stacked about a month the bulk would
be decreased from to 10 per cent.
Again, hay will vary somewhat in
measurement according to the time it is
cut
The Government standard for a ton Of
hay is u feet; this gives APP cubic feet
To find the number of cubic feet in a
stack, multiply the area of the base by
one-thlrd the perpendicular height An
estimate very generally accepted is that
% cubic yards of common meadow hay
in the windrow compose 4 ton, and 10
cubic yards of baled or pressed hay the
same weight. A truss CT new hay, ac-
cording to the same estimate is 90
pounds; of old hay, 56 pounds; load
OF hay 36 trusses; bale, 800 pounds
A truss Of straw is 40 pounds
A common rule for finding the number
of cubic feet in a NOW consists in multi
plying the length, width and depth
together Five hundred cubic feet of
ordinary clover and timothy hay, packed
under ordinary circumstances, will make
a ton. -Ne10 loyk Horld.

Hlnts en- Buttcr Nfaking.

Mr.. G. Monkey, of Vermont, recently
declared in the Homestead that to make
good butter the milk must be kept clean
as possible while milking, and good
strainer should be used, to take out what
little dirt may drop in. The COWS should
be salted often and kept healthy and
well fed Set the milk in as cool place
as can be had in hot weather, with IA
ciIities to warm it in the cold season
when needed 1t does not matter so
much what the milk is set in, so far as
good butter is concerned if cleanliness
is observed and the right care is taken to
get the cream. He says:
81 have been brought up in the dairy
business and have followed it for over
forty years and have aimed to make the
best butter possibly could. OF course
would not set in large pans, if pans
were to be used, TO make less work and
with better results. My wife takes good
care to skim the milk as soon, or before,
It begins to change, and as soon as the
cream VIII stay on the skinner she
takes it off. Then put the cream imme-
diately in a can that will hold u churning
and set it in a cool cellar"
IA word about the cream can. The
cover should have a cap. Experience
shows that cream keeps better and
schurns quicker to let it have ventilation.
The Savannah tribune. [volume] (Savannah [Ga.]) 1876-1960, 1887-10-15

Cream should not be kept over three
or four days in warm weather. ordinarily,
even if kept in a cool cellar. Cream
should be cooled if necessary the night
before chGrning in a cold spring or in
ice water, to prevent it from becoming
too soft. Separate the buttermilk as soon
rs may be after it comes, rinse with cold
water as cool us you need to keep the
butter cool, and if need be let it stand IN
ice water while before working. The
worker should be well scalded and soaked
in cold water Then work all OF the
buttermilk out by working and Washing
for butter viii not keep good if the but
termilk is left in Take it out. Next
spread the butter over the worker ready
for sailing, three fourth of an ounce or
more to the pound, just to suit custom,
ers, well worked in. II it IS not well
worked in the butter will be streakcd
Then pack in heart spruce or ashen tubs,
rightly prepared.
''My way Of preparing tubs IS as fol
lows: First scaId with cover on) with
boiling water to take the taste out OF
the tub. Then soak in the strong brine
to crystalline the tub ready for the butter.
In thus preparing the tub it does not
take the salt out OF the butter around the
edge. Therefore it will keep in a cool,
damp cellar In filing the tub do not
fill within about three -fourths of an inch
of the top. Then put on clean white
cloth wet in cold water, tuck it down
around the edge of the tub, then spread
one fourth or one third of an inch thick
of clean white salt over the cloth on
top of the butter, taking care that the
cloth or the salt does not come to the
top Of the slaves of the tub. If it does
it will act like a siphon and draw the
brine over the top Of the tub to the
outside, which of course does no good.

English Sham Battle.

The British autumn man9uvres at AL
bershot are considered the best that have
been known there They were carried
on during six weeks, and the regimental
marching was especially good, suggest
ing the advantage which man9uvering
has over simple route expeditions. The
principal sham contest was the "battle of
Kettlcsbury HILL" fought near Fren-
sham, when Gen. Smiths field column
had arrived within fifteen miles of AL
dershot and was there attacked by troops
from the latter point.

Iron Bridges.

A familiar illustration of the extent
to which engineers have become able
to dispense with matter and yet TO secure
the forces which alone they require, Is
furnished in the construction of modern
railway bridges. In these structures
the requirement is, that the heaviest
trains, moving at the most rapid speecs,
and thus transferring their weight rap
idly from one point OF the structure 70
another, shall cross spans which often
need to be Of considerable length, and
also that such trains coming from op-
posite directions, and moving at these
speeds, shall pass each other on the
bridges, and that the stresses aBd shocks
thus produced shall be repeated inces-
sanity, and yet the bridges shall remain
entirely safe.
We glide over them, and they are so
firm that the change ia the reyeTbera-
ton from that which is heard when the
train is moving over solid ground is
hardly observable, but when We look at
the structures, we see that, as compared
with bridges Of former times, which
were intended to bear only Insignificant
weights, in addition to their own, they
seem almost like spiders webs.
In the construction Of these bridges
every stress that can come upon them 10
exactly known, and is met in the most
advantageous practicable direction, and
with a resistanee equal to several times
I its greatest possible intensity. That
material Is employed in which the re-
sisting force ia known to be contained
| in the highest degree, and this material
is so disposed that not pound OF u Ia
wasted. Each member OF the structure
has its special function, and Is designed
and proportioned in such a manner that
the amount Of resisting force residing
in every part of It bears uniform ratio
! TO the amount of stress that can come
upon such part. l9g ~

Bats.

Bats in cold climates hibernate dur
ing the winter, says writer in the San
Francisco Gail; in other words they are
enabled 20 enter q dormant state and
live for months without eating. So COM
plete is this sleep that in cases examined
the most delicate instrument failed to
detect breathing on the part Of the AMI.
NAL, and in another instance the bat
was placed under water without any ap-
parent harm resulting from the extend
ed bath. The deep sleeps are generally
passed in trunks OF trees or caves, and
in the latter myriads Of bats are often
found. As soon as the insect supply Is
cut of, at the commencement OF cold
weather, the bats take to the caves anG
do not appear until spring; bnt In this
country they are out all winter, per-
haps retiring during unusually cold
spells.
Bats have their value, and devour q
large number of insects, from the mos.
quito to the larger forms. Some OF the
American Indians do not object to roast
bat, and the big fruit bats of the Indian
peninsula are considered great luxuries
5y the natives. AS these animals have
stretch of wings Of five feet, 1. must
require no little amonnt of courage to
eat one.
In the early geographical ages some
remarkable batlike creatures existed
though they were in reality reptiles;
yet some found east of the Rocky Noun
tains were, as far as appearances 90,
enormous toothless bats. One American
form had spread Of wing OF - feet.
The remains OF one of these giants can
be seer in the museum OF Yale College.

We Reap What We Sow.

We may try to evade them may do what we

But our acts, like our shadows, will follow US

The world is wonderful chemist, be sure,
And detects in moment the base or the pure !:
We may boast of our claims to genius or birth,
But the world takes man for just what he is

Are you wearied and worn in this hard earth

Do you yearn for affection to sweeten your

Remember this great truth has often been

We must make ourselves lovable would we be

Though life may appear a desolate track,
Yet the bread we cast on the water comes
back.
This law was enacted by heaven above
That like begets like and love begets love.
We are proud of our mansions of mortar and
stone;
In our gardens are flowers from every zone; {;
But the beautiful graces which blossom
within,
Grow shriveled and die in the Upas of sin.
We make ourselves heroes and martyrs for
gold,
Till health becomes broken and youth be-
comes Old
All! did we the same for beautiful love,
Our lives might be music for angels above.
